Days after the disappearance of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, U.S. soldiers intercepted radio communications revealing that an American soldier in a nearby village was looking for someone to help him communicate in English with unknown agents, according to the 28-year-old Idahoan's former team leader. <\/p>\n

\"I heard it straight from the interpreter's lips as he heard it over the radio,\" former Army Sgt. Evan Buetow, who served in Bergdahl's unit, said Tuesday in a CNN interview. \"There's a lot more to this story than a soldier walking away.\" <\/p>\n

And official military documents from 2009, which were obtained and released by WikiLeaks, would appear to corroborate Buetow's story. <\/p>\n

[A]n American Soldier with a camera is looking for someone who speaks English, the documents read. <\/p>\n

Later, in the same document dump, U.S. armed forces reported intercepting the following radio conversation between Taliban operatives: <\/p>\n

1- [We] ARE READY FOR THEM. <\/p>\n

2- ALL THE NUMBERS ARE MESS IT. WE ARE WWAITING FOR THEM. <\/p>\n

1- LOL THEY KNOW WHERE HE IS BUT THEY KEEP GOING TO WRONG AREA. <\/p>\n

2- OK SET UP THE WORK FOR THEM. <\/p>\n
